Dual Carbon Management

The Board of Directors of Longfor Group is ultimately responsible for climate change-related risks and opportunities. It authorizes the ESG Committee to supervise ESG management work comprehensively, including climate risk identification, assessment, and management. The ESG Committee regularly reports climate change issues to the Board of Directors. In addition, we have established a governance system for responding to climate change, led by the group management, coordinated by the dual carbon team, and supervised by the ESG committee, to comprehensively promote the implementation of the Group’s climate strategy and climate risk management related work.

Longfor Group has conducted climate risk identification and analysis and formulated corresponding response measures based on the disclosure framework of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and the Company's operational situation.    

Climate change risk identification and assessment
Climate change risk management

Longfor Group actively responds to climate change by incorporating low-carbon technologies in site selection, planning, designing, construction, and operation, to strengthen energy and resource management, achieve green operation throughout the entire life cycle, and jointly build a green, environmentally friendly, and sustainable living environment.

Climate Change Policy

Longfor Group continues to monitor global climate change policies and industry trends. We formulated the Policy for Addressing Climate Change to benchmark against leading industry companies and improve internal related system documents. At the same time, we have verified the Group's carbon emissions and developed targeted green emission reduction paths to address and mitigate climate change risks.

Climate Change Policy
Business
Reduction Path
Design
Design green housing like ultra-low-energy buildingsPrioritize the use of prefabricated buildingsOptimize renewable energy systems based on the building’s location and other factorsImprove sustainable supply chainsConduct life cycle carbon emission assessments of building
Construction
Choose low-carbon materials and equipments, such as renewable materials, materials with lower carbon footprints, etcAdopt efficient energy systems and equipment on the construction sitesImplement effective waste management plansOptimize logistics and transportation methods on the construction site, and select low-carbon and green transportation modes and routesProvide training on green awareness and skills for construction personnel
Operations
Regularly inspect and maintain the energy systems of buildings, while considering adopting intelligent control systems, such as intelligent lighting and HVAC systemsIncrease the usage of renewable energy, for example, by considering the installation of solar photovoltaic panels, wind turbines, and other facilities in existing buildings to reduce dependence on traditional energy sourcesExpedite the adoption of energy-saving and low-carbon practices and gradually phase out high-energy-consuming equipmentGive priority to suppliers with ISO 14001 and ISO 50001 certification, as well as products with green carbon footprint certificationPursue green building certifications like WELL and LEED to evaluate and enhance the environmental performance of buildings              Collaborate with tenants to promote low-carbon and energy-saving practices
Maintenance
Regularly inspect and maintain the building’s structure, equipments, and systems to promptly identify and repair any issues, ensuring efficient operationMonitor energy consumption through the energy management system and make timely adjustments to abnormal usageEstablish an effective waste management system to separate, recycle, and reuse waste generated during maintenance and restoration
